I have a cassette recording of a very important conversation. The tape broke in half and only one side of the tape is sticking out. It is a very important piece of information.

Go to Radio Shack and get a cassette repair kit. It has a new housing, hubs, rollers, and anything else you need - you probably will just use the new housing and transfer the tape and hubs to it.

if there are screws in the corners of the cassette you can remove them and retrieve the two ends and use scotch tape on the back of the 2 pieces to repair it. It take a delicate touch and allot of nerves and Patience. I've done this 1000 times. if the tape doesn't have screws in the corners you'll have to crack the cassette open around the edge carefully so you can put it back together. Remember "Carefully" if you break the cassette case it's harder to put it back together. don't try to reglue the tape case. it'll get on the tape and ruin it, I promise you that, no matter how careful you are.. Use scotch tape. any more help email me. webwriter3000@yahoo.com. maby you can send me the tape and I can do it for you.

Its a bit of a fiddly job but it can be done, having worked for years in a radio TV repair shop I was often required to repair cass tapes that had been eaten by the mechanism, most cassettes can be taken apart and the tape carefully spliced using sticky tape, of coarse you may lose a few inches of tape but it is surprising how little difference it makes, if you are not very good with your fingers then you could try the radio TV repair shop , if they are feeling in a helpful mood they might oblige you !!

You can unwind the tape from both sides and use a piece of scotch tape to mend the two pieces together. Be careful to line it up straight so the tape doesn't curl and twist. Once the two sides are matched fold over the scotch tape and press it flat. Trim away any excess scotch tape, so it won't get caught on the spool. This oought to work because the tape records magnetically and the scotch tape shouldn't interfere with the recording.
